What families say

“My son went through the Children’s Literacy Center a few years ago. The reading program was a tremendous experience and because of that he’s gone on to make the honor roll. My son’s self-esteem, confidence, and his ability to read have all grown. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” — Gerard Lopez, parent

“My son now asks me, ‘Can I just read one more?’ In the past, I struggled to get him to read and now he won’t stop. After the first tutoring session he read seven books on the way home. He reads to his dad, he reads before bed, and he took a book to school and read to his class. The Children’s Literacy Center is responsible for this wonderful transformation. It has changed my child’s life.” — Cynthia Gwin, parent
